A gallery showing the unique designs of Moroccan crafts, including traditional costumes, jewelry and body art, and the famous Berber carpets. From late 2019 the Gallery of Arts and History is now hosting a new exhibit, “Race Against the Sun: Ancient Technique to Modern Competition" which centers around two incredible modern-day racing competitions Marathon des Sables (Marathon of the Sands) and Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles du Maroc (Rally of the Gazelles) as well as the rich history of the ancient inhabitants of the Sahara, the Berbers. Here are some of the highlights of this new exhibit:
